The WMO confirmed that 2024 was the hottest year on record. As Trump's admin seeks to defund federal climate science & rollback climate commitments, UCS' Brenda Ekwurzel reminds us, "attempts to hide climate science from the public will not stop us from feeling the dire impacts of climate change.”

Spring cleaning on economic blackout day. I was reminded that I buy too much stuff I don’t use. But I decluttered enough notice my air plant pushing out a flower. Cheers to life’s small gifts.

Incredible! Thanks for posting this. Shame on everyone who stood in his way. His pioneering research in entomology and animal behavior deserves more recognition. Kudos to the Smithsonian and the authors for bringing his legacy to light!
Dr. Charles Henry Turner was from Ohio; he earned a BSc and MSc from the University of Cincinnati. He was the first African American to earn a PhD in #entomology, which was at the University of Chicago in 1907.

Ran into one of these in Jamaica years ago. The family was just speaking of how rare they were, but very poisonous. And then bam! I'm in the shower and one crawls along the lime tree branch dangling inside an open window and right into the tub with me!

The caterpillars that can kill you
Some species make venoms that are deadly. With more research, those toxic compounds could yield useful medicines.

Perfect example of why we need the IRA reinstated to help accelerate EV adoption.
Our exciting new report, “Ready for Work 2.0”, shows electric truck adoption is increasing! 📈Our analysis shows that electric trucks meet the range and payload requirements of most US fleets today, but key policies are necessary to accelerate adoption.
Ready for Work 2.0
Electrifying our on-road freight system is the surest way to reduce truck pollution and improve air quality, and the impacts on climate.

Blended finance and impact investing works best where the endeavors are driven by participatory community engagement, ecosystems restoration and regenerative approaches. There are a few good examples. However, many of these projects are centered on corporate interests primarily which is the problem.

Is Ikigai overhyped? Saw a video from someone in Japan amused by how the West uses it for self-help. Really, it’s about everyday joys—a meal you’re excited for or time with friends. Still, in times like these I love using it w/ student/clients for personal development. I’m rolling with it! #Ikigai
